Second whistleblower backs allegations Bove was ‘undermining rule of law’

WASHINGTON, D.C., JUL 28 – Multiple whistleblowers accuse Emil Bove of advising Department of Justice attorneys to defy court orders and misleading the Senate Judiciary Committee during his federal judgeship confirmation.

  • Emil Bove, who was chosen by President Trump for a lifetime position on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, is pending a final confirmation vote in the Senate, which could take place as early as Tuesday.
  • Two Justice Department whistleblowers, including former prosecutor Erez Reuveni, accused Bove of undermining the rule of law by suggesting ignoring court orders on immigration removals.
  • Bove has denied advising DOJ attorneys to violate court orders, while DOJ and Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley dismissed the whistleblowers' claims as unfounded.
  • A spokesperson described Bove as a highly qualified nominee who has contributed significantly to the Department of Justice's efforts in civil rights and national security, adding that even if many allegations are accepted, no scandal exists, and calling his departure a gain for the 3rd Circuit.
  • The ongoing dispute raises questions about DOJ legal strategies and the Senate confirmation process, with Bove's appointment decision pending amid serious allegations and official defenses.
